MIDI controllers +in Futatabi are fairly similar, but there are also some important differences, +since they control replay and not audio: + + * There is no concept of a bus (there is only one video output channel). + Thus, the concept of guessing also is obsolete. + * Since there are no buses, there are also usually plenty of buttons + and controls, rendering the bank concept less useful. It *is* supported, + but activity highlights (to show which bank is active) are not. + * Finally, outputs (controller lights and button lights) frequently have + more than one state depending on the velocity sent, e.g. 1 for on and 2 for + blinking. Thus, the Futatabi MIDI mapping editor allows you to change the + note velocities from the default 1. + +Futatabi has been tested with the `Behringer CMD PL-1 `; +it is not originally designed for slow motion, but provides everything you +need (a jog wheel, a slider that works as a T bar for master speed, and plenty +of buttons) at a fraction of the price of a “real” slow motion remote. +A sample MIDI mapping is included with Futatabi. + +Futatabi currently does not support classic RS-422 controllers, only MIDI +controllers. + Monitoring ----------
